The technological revolution, in all its dimensions – media, transportation, agriculture, communications, finance, health, you name it – has transformed our landscape and extended man’s reach and power beyond anything that could have been conceived. Our combined humanity and the different kinds of groups of humanity – nations, corporations, military branches, federal and state agencies, universities and schools – can now exert power and control over practically all forms of human activity, be it weather, food production, healthcare or communications. Man has created systems of control, systems of systems, that are unprecedented in history. . . .
We know this, but so what?
The problem is that humans claim this as an advancement, the elevation of what it means to be natively human (that’s the point – no other kind of human exists). We have become greater, more powerful, more capable. This is now who we are. Man has made man greater, without God.

Lie: I can become a god.
Truth: I can become a king under God.

This is the oldest lie, the original lie and therefore the most fundamental, most integrative and silently influential of all deceptions. What may sound ludicrous and therefore harmless – who in their right mind would think they can become a god?! – turns out to be the most insidious because it flies so far under the radar. In order to see just how dangerous this lie is, we must start at the beginning . . .
